Richmonders are invited to celebrate and reflect on the first 100 days of Mayor Danny Avula’s tenure in office with a special Day of Service and Celebration on Saturday, April 26, 2025.
Mayor Avula will kick off the day at Southside Community Center (6255 Old Warwick Road) beginning at 9am with an event that includes reflections and performances. A reception will follow where residents can greet the Mayor and learn more about his vision for Richmond.
"The real focus of the day will be the service projects that offer a chance to engage with new neighbors, learn about different parts of our great city, and contribute meaningfully to the betterment of our community, " said Mayor Danny Avula. "The hope is that together, we can help make a positive impact on the local community and continue our work toward a thriving Richmond where no one gets left behind."
Partnering with the Community Foundation, the City has organized service projects in each Council district addressing the various needs of Richmond's diverse neighborhoods. Residents will also have the opportunity to join Mayor Avula outdoors as many of the projects are being led by the Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities in honor of Earth Day. Residents can obtain free tickets for the event at https://tinyurl.com/RVAService. Those that are interested in the community service projects can visit https://www.cfengage.org/rvagov to register.
There are currently 17 community service projects that are available on the website.
